What happens when you add Hydrochloric Acid to any Carbonate? What is the balanced equation for the reaction? Barium Carbonate, Calcium Carbonate, Lithium Carbonate, Potassium Carbonate, Sodium Carbonate, and Strontium Carbonate are what I need to find the balanced equations for the reactions.

A metal carbonate and hydrochloric acid will produce a salt, carbon dioxide, and water. The five carbonates mentioned above are written as follows:
Barium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Barium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
BaCO3 + 2HCl → BaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Lithium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Lithium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
Li2CO3 + 2HCl → LiCl + CO2 + H2O
Potassium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Potassium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
K2CO3 + 2HCl → KCl + CO2 + H2O
Sodium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Sodium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
CaNa2CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Strontium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Strontium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
SrCO3 + 2HCl → SrCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Barium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Barium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
BaCO3 + 2HCl → BaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Lithium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Lithium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
Li2CO3 + 2HCl → LiCl + CO2 + H2O
Potassium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Potassium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
K2CO3 + 2HCl → KCl + CO2 + H2O
Sodium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Sodium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
CaNa2CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
Strontium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → Strontium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
SrCO3 + 2HCl → SrCl2 + CO2 + H2O
